Club cricket of a high standard was played at his private ground near Maidenhead between 1923 and 1939, and four national sides touring England began their tours playing against his personal XI; Australia in 1926, New Zealand in 1927, the West Indies in 1928 and India in 1932.[2] Martineau himself played in all those matches with the exception of the 1926 match against Australia.[5]

In 1927, he went on a tour of Egypt with the Free Foresters, playing two matches against the national side.[5] He took his own team to the country each year between 1929 and 1939,[2] and Martineau played in each match.[5]

He played three first-class matches in the early 1930s, for HDG Leveson-Gower's XI. He played against Oxford University in 1931 and against Cambridge and Oxford University in 1932.[6] He died in Westminster in 1976.[3]

His stepson was Henry Martineau.[7]
